SMARTci: The Gold Standard in Sustainable Building Enclosure Systems

SMARTci is the benchmark for sustainability in building projects. With Advanced Architectural Products’ SMARTci building enclosure system, we help you achieve the sustainability certifications your project needs while enhancing energy efficiency and overall performance. Here’s how SMARTci can drive sustainability in your building projects.

The Importance of Sustainability in Building

Sustainability has become a critical focus across industries, particularly in commercial building. As architects, contractors, and building owners, the choices we make today impact the long-term health of the planet. The materials and systems we use in construction influence not only energy consumption but also the building’s environmental footprint.

The responsibility is clear: we must continually seek out and implement sustainable building practices to ensure a positive impact on the environment. As technology evolves, so do our insights into the effects of building on the planet. Our regulations and guidelines must reflect this knowledge, and our construction methods should prioritize environmental sustainability.

To measure sustainability efforts, buildings can aim to meet several important certifications and declarations, including:

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification
Living Building Challenge (LBC)
Red List free status
Declare label certification
Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)

Achieving Sustainability Certifications with SMARTci

How can you meet these sustainability goals? Start with SMARTci. The building enclosure system goes beyond standard systems to provide a more comprehensive approach to sustainable design. SMARTci helps you reach green building certifications by guiding you through a checklist of materials and best practices to ensure compliance with environmentally responsible standards.

What sets SMARTci apart in the industry is its backbone, the GreenGirt CMH sub-framing, which has earned the Declare label certification from the International Living Future Institute (ILFI) for its composite metal hybrid composition. GreenGirt CMH is the first sub-framing product to earn this distinction, demonstrating Advanced Architectural Products’ leadership in transparency and sustainability.

The Declare label proves that GreenGirt CMH is free from Red List chemicals, which are harmful to human health and the environment. Furthermore, the product meets stringent Appropriate Sourcing Imperatives set by ILFI. What’s even more remarkable is that GreenGirt CMH achieved this recognition without needing any changes to its material components—testifying to its inherent sustainability.

SMARTci is unparalleled in the market for its commitment to delivering building enclosure solutions that align with certified sustainable practices.
